Out of the Blue

I went to the vet's to pick up some food for the pooches yesterday, and as I entered, I noticed a Lexus SUV idling unattended in the parking lot. I figured someone was dashing in and out, but when I left about 15 minutes later (I got sidetracked socializing with a wonderful Burmese Mountain Dog) it was still there, still running. I dunno, if it were my vehicle, even if I wasn't worried about gas shortages, gas prices, or pollution, I'd be worried about backlash from someone who was who might slash my tires or something (not to mention car thieves). Oh well, they probably need to keep the AC going so they could wear their fur coat.

Perhaps they hit the remote starter and didn't realize it.
